EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative aerial photograph taken in July 1939, we witness the expansive grounds of the National Children's Home (NCH) in Alverstoke, Hampshire, England. The image captures the meticulously planned layout of the orphanage, with its green lawns, neatly arranged buildings, and clear boundaries. The National Children's Home was established in 1869 to provide care, education, and a loving environment for orphaned and destitute children. The photo reveals the sense of community and order that was a cornerstone of the institution. The buildings, arranged in a rectangular pattern, house various facilities including dormitories, classrooms, workshops, and administrative offices. The open spaces, including the playground and gardens, offer ample room for the children to play and explore. The National Children's Home was more than just a place of shelter; it was a haven where children received the care and support they needed to grow into confident, capable individuals. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that institutions like the NCH played in the social welfare of children during a time when their futures were uncertain. This aerial view offers a unique perspective on the history of the National Children's Home in Alverstoke, Hampshire, and the essential work it carried out for generations of children in need.
